From the Heart.

 Hello everyone: As always, I pray you and your families are doing ok in these difficult times, please take care of each other and never forget to wear your masks when you go out in public spaces.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to the new challenge over at SHOPPING OUR STASH, we're calling it "What's Black, White and Red All Over?"  I thought of making a Christmas card but all of my cards are already on their merry way to my family and my friends so I thought it would be a great idea to start making a few Valentine's Day cards.

******************************************************

This is the INSIDE 

This is what I used:

Flourishes "Love Sweet Love" (2012 Basket of Tulips)

Flourishes "From the Heart" (Banner and sentiment, 2012)

The background panel was created with SU "Gorgeous Grunge" (2013-2014)

Prismacolor pencils.

Ribbons from my stash.

I hope you go visit the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge and get more inspiration from my fabulous teammates.

Thank you for visiting.

Stay healthy and safe and don't forget to wear your masks.

Hugs.

Maria.
